Mac OS X security Question/Poll

Hi there,

I was wondering how many of you run Mac OS X as the Admin user (created during installation). And how many of you created an additional normal user account for their daily work?

I know the root user is disabled to protect us from ourselfs. But how wise is it to run your daily stuff as a normal user?

I am interested in your comments on security ;-)

Yeah .. that's the kind of paranoid thinking I like best

But no, I'm not out to hack people, just interested in the security of my own system and the way others go about securing theirs. If they do at all.

Just the learning phase entering the world of Unix. I do Novell system administration myself for a couple of companies and am so accustomed to being admin all the time, that I feel locked if I'm not.

Is everybody here just to paranoid to answer my question? Or is nobody else here interested in security?

Well, it seems everybody here confirms the thoughts I had about this

Thanx for the feedback.
